I've never made couscous before but this turned out great! An interesting, healthy veggie-filled dish. My guests loved it and rather than putting the orange/parmesean garnish on it, we added feta cheese which added a wonderful flavor. Also, I couldn't find vegetable broth so I just used water, and I didn't have any cardemom but it was still really good.

I thought this was excellent. Lots of veggies. Loved the spices. I didn't top it with the almonds or orange zest because I didn't have them. I added an extra can of beans. If you use large veggies you won't have much if any liquid, but that's how I like it..

We loved it! Since the man in my house can't eat a meal without meat, we did start the pot with 1lb of chicken tenderloins in some broth and white wine. It turned out great. Beautiful, healthy and tasty!

Used 1/2 the vegetable quantities in recipe except for the courgette and mushrooms which I did not reduce .Used my own judgement on spices based on experience and used juice from a small orange instead of zest. I also cheated and used the 'instant' couscous and only 160ml of stock as it was for 2 persons only which meant the veg/couscous ratio was better. Hubby liked it a lot and I thought it really tasty.Excellent basic recipe to adapt to one's own taste.

Even though I gave this a 5, you need to know that where this recipe says it will feed 6, actually it will feed 12. I cooked all the vegetables according to the directions, and put half of them in a freezer safe container and saved them for another time. The spices also need something more. Don't know if doubling up would do it, I added garlic and I think I could have added a lot more. However, this can be served warm and then chilled and served again as a salad. Very versatile.

Great, yummy, easy, quick, and healthy dinner! I did not have any peppers so instead I added 3 celery stalks (at the same time as the onions). I also did not have the spices, so I used 1tsp. garam masala - which has most of the spices needed plus some others. I added about 1 tsp. of granulated garlic. Lastly I did not have chickpeas so I just left those out. I topped it with Lemon Zest. It was fabulous!!! My mom LOVED it, and so did the toddler, and husband! Thanks! I gave it 5 stars because it was so easy and obviously a flexible meal.
